Properties in Seaford
Seaford is a coastal town at the foot of Seaford Head, with views across to the Seven Sisters cliffs. Housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian properties in the old town to extensive inter-war and post-war development, including many bungalows. The town's position between the chalk cliffs and the River Cuckmere creates a varied landscape and diverse construction types.
Common Damp Issues in Seaford
Coastal exposure drives penetrating damp through render, pointing, and window seals across all property types. Rising damp in the older properties is common, and the chalk geology can create high water table conditions that increase ground moisture levels. Condensation in bungalows and poorly ventilated properties is a frequent complaint, particularly during the winter months.

What Seaford Customers Say
Our cellar had been damp and unusable for years. The team installed a full cavity drain membrane system with a sump pump, and we now have a completely dry utility room. Transformative work — we wish we had done it sooner.
We had internal wall insulation fitted to our solid-walled bungalow and the difference is remarkable. The house is noticeably warmer, our heating bills have dropped, and the condensation we used to get on the bedroom walls has stopped completely.
I manage a block of six flats in Eastbourne and called Brighton Damp Proofers after two ground-floor tenants reported damp. The survey identified a failed damp-proof course across the front elevation. They injected a new chemical DPC and replastered both flats within a week. Minimal disruption to the tenants and the work has been flawless.
